Kenneth and Thomas Parker, aged 56, who have links to the Sussex and Warwickshire areas, are both wanted for breaching notification requirements of the sex offenders’ register.

Thomas Parker is wanted for a recall to prison but the notification breaches mean they both could be jailed.

A CEOP spokesman said the brothers were the 23rd and 24th people to have their details published on its Most Wanted website.

They are both believed to have been in mainland Europe but their current location is not known. The brothers also have connections to France, the Netherlands and Portugal and are believed to be together, the spokesman said.

Kenneth Parker is 5ft 8in, of medium build with short brown hair. He has distinctive tattoos on both his arms: a fish and wings from a Para regiment on his left arm, and a dragon and a panther on his right.

Thomas Parker is 6ft and slim. He has cropped brown hair and may have facial hair. He has a scar by his left eye and also has distinctive tattoos on his arms of a Chinese carp, a naked woman, a swallow, a stallion’s head and a wizard.

A CEOP spokesman said: “It should be noted that they have both demonstrated violent tendencies in the past.”

CEOP chief executive Peter Davies said: “I want to ask members of the public to once again help us in locating these two dangerous individuals.”

Detective Chief InspectorNigel Jones, from Warwickshire Police, said: “We have done everything we can to locate Thomas Anthony Parker, a convicted high-risk child sex offender and the next step is to work with international agencies like CEOP to appeal to the public throughout Europe to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you have information on either twin.”

Kenneth and Thomas Parker, 56, are described as high-risk child sex offenders with “violent tendencies”.

They are both wanted for travelling abroad without telling the authorities of a change of address, as they must under the terms of the Sex Offenders Register.

The brothers’ photographs have been posted on the “most wanted” website of the UK’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) centre.

Kenneth Parker was jailed for gross indecency with a young boy and indecent assaults on a boy and girl.

Thomas Parker went to prison for indecent assault on a girl and has similar convictions in France.

They are thought to be travelling together and have connections with France, Holland and Portugal.

Ceop’s chief executive Peter Davies said: “I want to ask members of the public to help us in locating these two dangerous individuals.”

Kenneth Parker is 5ft 8in tall, medium built with short brown hair. He has distinctive tattoos on both arms, a fish and Parachute Regiment wings on his left arm and a dragon and panther on his right arm.

His twin brother Thomas is around 6ft tall and of slim build. He has cropped brown hair and a scar by his left eye.

He, too, has distinctive tattoos on his arms – a Chinese carp, a naked woman, a swallow, a stallion’s head and a wizard.

The brothers face another jail term of up to five years for allegedly breaching the Sex Offenders Register.
